1 Give praise to the Lord in heaven; praise him, all that dwells on high. 2 Praise him, all you angels of his, praise him, all his armies. 3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, every star that shines. 4 Praise him, you highest heavens, you waters beyond the heavens. 5 Let all these praise the Lord; it was his command that created them. 6 He has set them there unageing for ever, given them a law which cannot be altered.

7 Give praise to the Lord on earth, monsters of the sea and all its depths; 8 fire and hail, snow and mist, and the storm-wind that executes his decree; 9 all you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars; 10 all you wild beasts and cattle, creeping things and birds that fly in air; 11 all you kings and peoples of the world, all you that are princes and judges on earth; 12 young men and maids, old men and boys together; let them all give praise to the Lord’s name. 13 His name is exalted as no other, 14 his praise reaches beyond heaven and earth; and now he has given fresh strength to his people. Shall not his faithful servants praise him, the sons of Israel, the people that draw near to him? Alleluia.
